Toronto vs Seattle is of course now the joint-most common match-up in VHL history at 18 (tied with Helsinki vs Riga) so 2 historic conference finals coming up.

That's 5 playoff series wins out of 5 for Moscow over Prague #cursed And of course now an 8th Moscow vs Riga series, already the 12th most common playoff matchup of all time despite first being contested in S67 #familiarfaces

Hey that's my face!

Thank you all for your votes. I can now reveal that the people receiving at least 2 nominations and therefore a place on the ballot going to the BOG are... @Beketov @Daniel Janser @Dil @Doomsday @hedgehog337 @JardyB10 @nurx @samx @Shindigs @Spartan Also receiving 1 nomination each were @Acydburn @badcolethetitan @Banackock @jRuutu @Moon and @ctots. Well done all! As is custom, I am happy to provide reasons for your nomination(s) over PM or Discord DM.

@Members awards season is upon us! Every member can nominate one other member who they feel demonstrated great work ethic, passion for the VHL, and/or made some notable contribution which in your eyes made them stand out in S83. There are no restrictions on who you nominate, but we will not necessarily vote for someone in a position of power. This should whittle it down to a few candidates which the BOG will vote on prior to the off-season awards ceremony. To nominate a fellow member, simply fill out the short form linked here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfwCkU_qrp1xDrzRl-TJRVpA-NV_e-gjsIuE0wF0XcF0yHV_w/viewform?usp=sf_link

@hedgehog337 is my favourite of the people you shouted out

they waited like 60 season tbf

You and Arce back and excited for the league brings tears to my eyes.

when you running awards and HOF?

Yeah sounds about right. Now that you had Klose here it's all merged but that makes a lot of sense. Ah what a time what a time

slut

You will pay for this

You are too kind my friend - albeit it is always nice to hear just having a chat goes a long way. Thank you for sticking around and I'm sure making a difference for many others on here. I must say I've erased that memory of us not knowing who we were on the SHL. I've now known your SHL identity for so long that doesn't even feel real.

who wants 3 TPE lmao

@JardyB10 when are we doing a podcast that may or not be solely callbacks to S18 Calgary? I also need to cleanse my name of these Russian allegations.

It's all a distant memory, like tears in the rain

It was definitely sterling, you are fake news

What warped reality sees NY end up here

Move them to Riga imo

am i stuck in an infinite time loop

But to @JardyB10 @Berocka @Gaikoku-hito and anyone else, I read this article yesterday (beware, it's a beast) which delves a lot deeper into the culture of outrage etc and does a very good job. It's got an American lens to it and from this side of the pond it does seem a lot more extreme over there but covers social media which is more international quite well. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/05/social-media-democracy-trust-babel/629369/

Nope one week and one week only! (no it totally is, I was so perplexed but this being a thing)

On a related note I got on the tube today (cuz I went to Landan) and there was an announcement that it's currently Priority Seating Week and we should see if anyone needs the seat more than us. Fortunately this is not something I'll need to consider after this week ends!

Does elmo in your sig get progressively bigger or am I tripping

Has no one told Helsinki meta is dead
